Tapster Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Following on from my thread in April this year, I now need to get rid of our resident monitor lizard as he's probably going to crash through the plasterboard ceiling of my workshop sooner or later. Also, I think he may have damaged some wiring as two of my ceiling lights have stopped working. The electrician won't want to meet the lizard and I think the time has come for him to go. Who does this sort of dangerous animal removal? I think I read about a free service for snake removal. Do they do lizards as well? Many thanks for any advice.

jak2002003 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Sure they will do lizards as well as snakes. Can you find out the place it gets into the roof, then just block it off when he has gone out, so he can't get back in? Maybe tempt it out with some smelly cat food outside.

Rimmer Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I had seven of them in the garden and around my pond to get rid of, all hatched from eggs. Left it too long they all grew into 1 1/2 mtr monsters and I had to build a trap in order to locate them in the wild, can't help with who to contact but they like dead fish and dead birds if that's any help in luring him out, the riper the better.

pagallim Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Try this number: 076 246 301. Can't remember the name of the foundation, but this was the number we called a few years ago to catch and remove a snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapster Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Thank you all for the speedy replies. Who says the Phuket forum is quietening down!! The roofspace is accessible along the eves so he can get in anywhere. I can't close it off because the eves are directly over the pool. I'd either have to levitate or put a ladder in the pool. Anyway, now he doesn't seem to come down from the roofspace. We haven't spotted him in the garden since April. @Rimmer Impressive cage! Did you build it yourself? I'll try the phone numbers and post again with my results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know this number, but Kusoldharm Foundation can be called under 076 246 216 or 076 211 706. These are the snake people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are such beautiful animals. I had some when I lived a rural life in the South of Thailand, Trang, I had to threaten my neighbors to get them to stop eating them. Bastards. Hope you find a humane way to get rid of them but I would have to see a Thai throw away a meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
